MMA Thigo did not lose because of the difficult weight cut

Thiago Alves did not lost to Georges St. Pierre because he messed up his weight cut, according to his team mate Gesias ‘JZ’ Cavalcante.

The weight cut claim was made by Eric “El Tigre” Castano, an assistant coach to Alves, earlier this week, but Cavalcante has dismissed the claim and says that Castano is not even Alves’ fll-time coach so is in no position to make such comments.

“El Tigre worked as coach only for that fight because Quali Mohamed (ATT trainer) couldn’t come back to the USA due to visa problems,” lightweight Cavalcante said today.
“El Tigre was hired to help the stand-up training of Thiago and had never worked with the contender before and doesn’t know the weight cut method used by ATT fighters. Thiago was unhappy with his comments, for trying to find something to blame the loss on.”

“No excuses. St Pierre was superior and that is the end of it, but we are conscious of Thiago’s potential and he will be improving his skills to keep himself on the top. Pitbull is young and has a long career ahead.”

Alves lost his five-round UFC 100 fight with St. Pierre by unanimous decision after being taken down and controlled in every round.

St. Pierre has now almost entirely cleaned out the 170lb division, but UFC president Dana White confirmed on Saturday that the winner of a UFC 103 fight between Martin Kampmann and Mike Swick would go on to challenge for the belt.
